Imaging device and electronic device
Abstract
An object is to provide an imaging device in which a circuit for reading a signal is provided in a pixel region. The imaging device includes a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel is capable of outputting a first signal output from a pixel circuit included in the first pixel or a second signal input from the first pixel in the previous stage, to the first pixel or the second pixel in the next stage. The second pixel is capable of outputting, to the outside, the first signal or the second signal, which is input from the first pixel in the previous stage, or a third signal output from a pixel circuit included in the second pixel.
